Lisa Sacks

A Life-Changing Experience – Thank You, Lisa

For 27 years, I’ve had a complicated relationship with my body. While I’ve always been deeply grateful for what it has done—especially supporting me through the birth of my amazing, healthy children—I’ve also carried a deep sense of shame about my excess skin and muscle separation.

This internal conflict brought with it a constant undercurrent of guilt. I felt blessed to be a mother, yet I was quietly grieving the body I once knew. I spent so much energy trying to hide my tummy, feeling anxious about getting changed in front of others, avoiding certain types of exercise because the skin would get in the way, and struggling with lower back pain, constipation, and a lack of confidence in intimate moments—all of it linked to how I felt about my abdomen.

For years, I would stand in front of the mirror, holding in my tummy, dreaming of feeling comfortable and proud in my own skin. I began researching abdominoplasty and spoke to many people who had gone through the surgery. One name kept coming up: Lisa Sacks.

Over the years, I worked hard to be healthy in both body and mind, and I came to realise that surgery was the final piece of my self-care puzzle. When I contacted Lisa’s office, I spoke to Liana, who was so warm, kind, and informative. From the first conversation, I had this overwhelming sense: this is it — this is my time. We get one life, and there is no better investment than in your wellbeing.

Meeting Lisa confirmed everything I had hoped. She seemed to understand me on a deeper level as though she could read my mind. She knew this wasn’t just about removing excess skin or tightening muscles — this was about restoring confidence and healing my identity. I felt truly seen.

My experience at the Nuffield Hospital was equally positive. The care was exceptional, and even the food was wonderful! Lisa prepared me thoroughly for surgery, ensuring I was informed not just physically, but emotionally. I felt ready and supported at every stage.

The surgery went smoothly, and during my two-night stay, the care from the entire team was outstanding. What has truly set this journey apart, though, is the aftercare. Lisa’s approach is deeply compassionate—she makes you feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for.

And the results? I feel reborn. I am absolutely thrilled—not only with my flat tummy, my beautifully shaped belly button, and strong abdominal muscles—but with how I feel in myself. My confidence has returned. My scar is barely noticeable — thin, flat, and a testament to Lisa’s remarkable skill and artistic eye. She is, quite simply, a sculptor.

This journey has been one of the greatest acts of self-love I’ve ever undertaken. I’m endlessly grateful to Lisa and her team for helping me feel strong, empowered, and whole again.

What absolutely fantastic support and care I have had from Lisa and her team . My journey has been amazing . I had a tummy tuck with a breast up lift with Lisa 04/24. A year later in 05/25 I went back to Lisa to have breast augmentation as I wanted a little upper volume . What amazing results I have as I felt insecure about my body since loosing 8 1/2 stone in weight and breast feeding my 3 gorgeous boyswhich are now 14,12 and 10 . I had met with a few other local surgeons about the procedures that Lisa carried out on me . But the moment I met Lisa she held my arm And walk me to her consultant room and made me feel important and welcome . I knew from that point I had found my surgeon . Lisa’s secretary liana has also been amazing with answering questions and with information provided to me, also would like to thank Maxine who answered my question and provided Information in liana’s absence . Also I would like to say how fantastic all the team are in the surgery room.,such a sparkling clean , tidy environment with high knowledgeable team members in the profession . Also to mention the after care from the hospital team . They couldn’t help me anymore then they did . Absolutely amazing support and assistants, Always there when needed . My night nurse was Joyce and I could not thank her enough . What amazing super results I have . I am so pleased. Thank you for making me feel full of confidence and for reaching my results. I highly recommend Lisa and her team . ❤️

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a breast uplift (mastopexy) operation performed by Dr. Lisa, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Lisa displayed an exceptional level of professionalism and expertise. She took the time to understand my needs and provided clear, compassionate guidance throughout the entire process. She gave me all the options clearly outlining every detail transparently and I didn’t feel pushed into a decision which something I encountered with other Drs.

The surgery itself was seamless, and I felt supported every step of the way. Dr.Lisa transformed my concerns into confidence, achieving results that exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail and artistry in her work is truly commendable.

Recovery was smooth, thanks to Dr. Lisa's thorough aftercare instructions and the follow-up appointments that ensured everything was healing properly. I now feel rejuvenated and more comfortable in my own skin. I highly recommend Dr. Lisa to anyone considering a breast uplift—it's a decision I will never regret!

I had my Labiaplasty operation with Lisa a year ago and it was the best decision I ever made. I was left with excess skin after a labour where I suffered quite a big tear through my labia which made exercise and intercourse quite uncomfortable along with this I felt very self conscious of the way it looked after giving birth.

Lisa and her team made me feel totally at ease and cared for throughout the whole process. On the day of the operation the hospital staff and Lisa herself, constantly checked on me and reassured me. She used her “ZIGZAG” technique for removing the excess skin from the labia.

After the operation, I went home fully prepared for the aftercare procedures I would need to follow in order to get the best results. This was all discussed, in depth, multiple times in consultations with Lisa. She stressed the importance of resting and really not doing a lot, to let the swelling go down as quickly as possible and the wounds to heal well.
I really liked that (if you are happy to) Lisa can put you in touch with other patients that have had the same operation. I found this really helpful as you can discuss others personal experiences and also get some top tips on what to do whilst resting and different things to try to help the healing process.

Recovery for me went really well, I listened to all the advice I was given and really didn’t do much moving around at all for the 2 weeks. The swelling calmed down pretty quickly as I used the ice packs and Arnica daily. I took it really steady after that and gradually built up the time I spent standing.

A year on I am so pleased with the results from the operation. I think the ZigZag technique Lisa uses means you can barely see any scaring, I love the way it looks, so natural and pretty much back to what it looked like before childbirth. I have no problems anymore with it getting caught during intercourse and exercising is also way more comfortable. My confidence is also back to where it used to be especially when wearing swimwear in public!

I am 4 months post-surgery. I had a breast reduction and lift. My main reason for this was due to ongoing back and neck pain with the added bonus of having more symmetrical and perky breast that on occasion did not require a bra in a nice outfit!

Due to being ~2 hours from Bristol I had my first consultation on Zoom. Miss Lisa Sacks was very friendly and approachable and asked lots of questions about my interest/ hobbies, my family and my medical history, giving advice on some areas too. Miss Sacks somehow retains all of this information and has a genuine interest in you as a person, making this experience even more personalised while maintaining professional boundaries.

Miss Sacks attention to detail is incredible, down to the very tiny details. You can really tell this is truly her vocation in life, her whole approach is very holistic and endearing. I cannot fault my experience in the slightest.

The ongoing care is incomparable, for the two weeks post operation you are able to contact Miss Sacks directly 24/7 with any issues or complications, from two weeks onwards you are still able to make contact but via Liana who is very quick at getting back to you and if she doesn’t know the answer, she will asked Miss Sacks on your behalf. There are multiple follow up appointments, the first needs to be face to face but the following can be via Zoom.

Liana and Miss Sacks have been very accommodating with appointments and dates. I was treated with dignity and respect throughout and was put at ease by the ability to ask lots of questions and speak to previous patients which helps to relieve anxiety and made me feel more at ease.

My post operative results, although it had only been 4 months are life changing! The relief on my neck/ shoulders and back are liberating but externally visible to others as it has helped correct my posture. I’m not experiencing the same tension and headaches which is relieving stress and making me feel less ‘groggy’. I have experienced a occasions ‘out out’, braless in a nice outfits which made me feel incredible and free! Not having to worry if the bra straps are hidden or if I should even purchase the garment in the first place, as previously I had to wear a bra permanently, this translates to lingerie too, I can wear items without having to worry about support or spilling out looking and feeling like strung meat.

I chose Miss Sacks, as my friend and two of her family members had the same procedure with her, the first over 20 years ago. I also could not find one bad review and after my first zoom meeting I knew I could trust Miss Sacks to deliver my vision.

The hospital is clean, modern and welcoming and the staff are friendly and attentive.

I cannot fully express how pleasant my journey has been and continues to be, I am so thankful to Miss Sacks and her team for my experience.

I chose Lisa for my breast lift surgery. After years of reluctance and nervousness, and researching various different surgeons and clinics, I found Lisa.

Not only was she and her team unbelievably supportive throughout the whole process, they were completely transparent about every single step of the process. She even held my hand as I was going under the anaesthesia.

With regular check-ins even a year later post-surgery, I have no regrets and am so glad and thankful I chose Lisa. Life-changing.

In November 2022, I underwent a vertical breast reduction with Lisa, and it has truly been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I’ve wanted this surgery since I was 15 years old, and at 31, after years of wanting this operation and a couple of consultations with other clinics, I finally found the right place with Lisa. Although I had explored other options, I never felt completely comfortable or confident enough to move forward. However, from the moment I met Lisa, I felt reassured, safe, and completely at ease. There was no pressure, and I was given all the information I needed without having to ask.

Before the surgery, I was a JJ cup, and Lisa reduced me to a DD, although, in all honesty, I don’t wear bras anymore (a statement I never thought I’d make!). I’m not entirely sure what my size is now.

This surgery has dramatically changed my life. Simple tasks that many people take for granted—like going for a jog, playing with my children, holding or carrying them, or even painting my toes—were always difficult for me because of the size and weight of my chest. My shoulders would tear and bleed from the strain, especially after high-impact activities. I suffered from constant back spasms and deep shoulder indents. Now, I feel fitter, healthier, and pain-free, and it’s all thanks to this surgery.

The post-op support I received exceeded my expectations. Lisa checked in with me daily to see how I was doing and provided unwavering support throughout my recovery. The cost and recovery time was absolutely worth it, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Lisa has been nothing short of amazing, and I’ve recommended her to everyone I know.

I had a breast reduction surgery, due to my struggle with self-image, my young age and pain. I chose this clinic as family members had used this surgeon before and was more than happy with the results. The staff were all lovely and very attentive going above and beyond.

Having never had surgery before I was unsure what to expect and was very nervous, however my experience was absolutely fine and despite my bad reaction to the anesthetic I can say I’d recommend this clinic.

I had the most fantastic experience Lisa Sacks, she made me feel comfortable from our first consultation and throughout. She is kind, warm and has your best interest at heart. From start to finish my time with Lisa and her team has been faultless.

I opted to have Abdominoplasty at the age of 51 after losing a significant amount of weight. I'd actually lost the weight by my mid 20's and was always aware of the excess skin on my tummy. For a number of reasons I opted to wait to have surgery, namely I wanted to have children and finances didn't allow when I was younger. I'd become increasingly aware that no amount of good diet and exercise would make a difference and weight loss only made the appearance of my tummy worse.

I'm now 12 months post-surgery and am thrilled with the results. Aside from the huge improvement in appearance and a belly button to be proud of my core feels stronger and clothes fit better.

This is obviously a big operation and it takes time to recover so some patience is required. The first weeks and months are hard but I was running again after 12 weeks and now 12 months after surgery the scar is hardly noticeable.

Lisa did such an amazing job, I don't think I could have hoped for a better result. Lisa is also very caring and thoughtful, throughout the whole process from initial consultation to 12 month review. She takes a holistic approach and even makes recommendations for example about diet post operation to ensure the best recovery. I found all the staff at the Spire to be caring and efficient, I was really well looked after and wouldn't hesitate to recommend both Lisa and the hospital.

Breast reduction surgery: I chose Lisa because of a referral from a childhood friend, who, like me, grew up with enormous breasts and I saw her post-surgery. I was amazed at the lack of scarring and how natural they looked. I will also add that Lisa has a lot more value for money compared to other prices when searching for breast surgery. And finally, her expertise. Reading up on Lisa’s history as a surgeon, I knew I would be in the safest hands.
